South Beach at Lincoln City
Back of Angie's house from the boat dock
Angie looks like a Navajo lady picking rocks out of her pinto beans. But, she's a Tlingit lady picking agates out of brown rocks. She's teaching the boys about Agates of the Oregon Coast right now. It's amazing how many different kinds they find.
Darren, Nathan and Jonathan starting out for an early morning 3 mile beach walk.
Darren got out a little too far and a wave got him..now he's pouring salt water out of his boots

Angie and Family are helping a neighbor cut and haul wood in today. They have been at it for several hours.
A Seagull waiting for something to happen
A new Coast Guard Buoy Tender. This is an entrance buoy marking the bar at Depoe Bay.
Interesting little City, with a harbor to the open sea.
Depoe Bay bar. Not much room to get a very large vessel into the harbor.
Some of this boats are pretty good sized...and the ALL came in through bar in the picture above.
"Ready Boats"..47 foot Motor Life Boats. These are "roll over" boats. In heavy seas, if they broach and roll, they will right themselves. They don't do it anymore for routine surf training, it costs too much to replace the electronics that get ripped off and also some sheet metal damage. One of my last jobs in the Coast Guard was to add my input, along with several other Group Naval Engineers, into the design of these boats. They replaced the 44' MLBs.
The neighbor lady that lives across the street from Angie has 18 acres of timber, some old growth. It's an interesting place. The kids were there today helping her bring in wood.
These are tall trees, this is probably about 30 feet into the up where this Alder limb is growing sort of through the big Fir. The limb is alive, there are plenty of leaves out on the end of it.
